Mind-Blown! FIRST TIME Reacting to Ren’s 'Back on 74 / Message in a Bottle

[@ukdnbmarsh]

Ren is a generational talent, he is quite something.

[@nickibridges2898]

You picked up the Message in a Bottle riff instantly. So many miss it in the Back on 74 part!

[@ReactADHD]

Iconic riff!

[@Nonniewantsmore]

So glad you caught it.

[@amyyampanis7327]

Awesome reaction! You are the best reacter for Ren! You really catch so much of his Easter eggs and playing with words

[@ReactADHD]

Wow, thank you!

[@BlinkyMet]

Defo in my top 3 reactors and struggling to think of the other 2.

[@yermomdotcom1]

I kinda can't argue, he's climbin' the ranks fast, ha!

[@bentracey4939]

I feel like ren is your new adhd special interest. As a person with adhd i can tell you theres plenty to learn. Lol. Tip tier reactor. Thx dude..

[@ReactADHD]

Thanks so much

[@bentracey4939]

@ReactADHD might I suggest patience by Ren. It's a live acoustic from before he got treatment. Look for the one where he is on a couch.

[@Irmelinis]

You're so good! Like a natural born reactor lol 😄 you pick up things, you know music, you know musical history and you share it all with us, thank you!!!

[@ReactADHD]

Thank you so much!!

[@DevonTuck]

You're one of the very rare reactors that actually knows the original and you're right the chorography is great. and that video I looked up for the original had almost 1M views!

[@krystalIvy1996]

Sir! The amount of information you retain is amazing! Absolutely love your reactions, it's like a dopamine boost haha! 😊 hope you're feeling better today.

[@ReactADHD]

I appreciate that!

[@pepinosylvie8887]

Yeah, this retake is wonderful 😍 just for you know, it was 10 days between the first idea of this retake and this live performance... Just amazing ! Thanks for this great reaction once again 😘

[@ReactADHD]

Thanks for the info!

[@davec4955]

You're the first reactor I've seen that instantly picked up on the awkward-pause 👍

[@ReactADHD]

Oh really? wow

[@iamsquatty]

Ive said it before, but in this one rens voice is like smoky whiskey and warm honey all at the same time. Its a fan favorite, and its one of my favorites too. 😁🥹💜

[@ReactADHD]

agreed! He is awesome!

[@mariajoseurizar5093]

I finally catched up with your Ren reactions ✨ Please do: Fred again mashup

[@mariajoseurizar5093]

The look if pure joy on your face listening to this just made my day ✨

[@karenlackner192]

This song is smoooooth. And did you notice he’s wearing the white shirt & tie from Money Game 3. He really loves that suit. Had it made to fit ❤

[@ReactADHD]

I didnt! Thanks for pointing that one out

[@TheBizzybujo]

That song shows the entire range of Ren! One of my favorite❤

[@dianejones8225]

Great reaction to a great song 😊

[@RhondaTomassi]

Love your reactions. Glad your neck feels a little better. My heart really goes out to Ren. Hes so loved, I hope he can feel the good vibes coming from all the Renegades.

[@Bonjovicrzy]

Ren hope you feel better we wish you all the best with your health we love ya , Yes Ren loves the classics I love when he sings Tom Jones and Frank Sinatra when he goofs off on his live streams He is a big Sting and Police fan ... and you can tell Sting has a big influence Ren listens to all types of music so you never know what he will come up Yes Ren writes and produces his own music and songs but I love when he takes a popular song or artist and rework it his own way and style .. Very talented person

[@ReactADHD]

Your support means the world to Ren! We’re so glad you appreciate his unique take on music and his ability to mix things up.

[@kkrause547]

Loved your reaction again. You’re so receptive to everything Ren does. I can’t believe you talked about Quadrophenia because I remember Ren mentioning it somewhere in a video maybe a live or an interview. Great minds think alike 👍🏻

[@ReactADHD]

Thank you so much!!

[@krikat3485]

Yes, Ren said his grandmother told him stories about it, and he has watched Quadrophenia himself.

[@ricci8497]

The backing singers have careers they sing professionally they've sung for huge names at large scale events.

[@ReactADHD]

wow!

[@mikesimpson1866]

This one is just pure vibe. Amazing location, amazing combination of talent and everyone gets their little bits and it just works together so well.

[@ReactADHD]

absolutely!!

[@KaefShi]

Quatrophenia is so great!!! Nice reaction man ❤❤

[@ReactADHD]

We are the mods!

[@HerkulesRockefeller]

saw a lot reactions on that on and have to say that yours is on of my favorites! Cheers!

[@tinytim161061]

The Bass Player Kai played Kujo in the Beat down.

[@ReactADHD]

GREAT TO KNOW!

[@perfectkismet]

​@@ReactADHDHe's also the main behind the scenes videographer on Ren's team. He gets paid to follow Ren around with his phone camera... I'm pretty sure he got the job because he was always filming when they hung out, anyway.

[@heartwork8318]

This is one of my favorites! Great singing and some naughty bars 😂😂❤️‍🔥✌🏻🫶🏻

[@alexandrafossey9267]

I liked your inputs about the guitar riffs, because it seems so easy when Ren plays. If you want something a little tongue-in-cheek you should react to Uninvited, it's a lyric video. Hope your neck heals soon so that it can make a 360° rotation on Uninvited 😊

[@ReactADHD]

I appreciate your kind words about the guitar riffs! Your suggestion for "Uninvited" sounds great, and I’ll definitely keep it in mind.

[@ChristieOconnor]

Ren's voice is so versatile x

[@faithsilk2318]

Absolutely love your description of him being a music chameleon❤

[@RenReactionPlaylists]

Great reaction as always. Ren has said how much he loves Quadrophenia in a few interviews. He has also done a cover of Englishman In New York with The Big Push.

[@brain76]

Okay I've just spent my entire evening watching every one of your Ren reactions. Absolutely top tier! Can't wait for more Ren and tomorrow I will check out some of you other reactions. If I could suggest a couple Ren songs: "Suicide" is a beautifully devastating track and on the other end of the spectrum "What You Want" is a fun filled banger. Much love my friend! ❤

[@ReactADHD]

More to come! Appreciate you!

[@TheEVside]

one of my favourites love it, other great retake is Bitter Sweet Symphony

[@ReactADHD]

Glad you like it!

[@ukdnbmarsh]

the jungle reference and shy FX maybe in there *Shy FX - Rudeboy Lovesong*

[@helenjarvis7755]

Wonderful insightful reaction This is my favourite genre of music so I love everything about this song.

[@ReactADHD]

I'm so glad you enjoyed the reaction! This genre has so much depth; it's always a pleasure to explore it together.

[@allabouttheart]

Great job reacting ❤. Yes, you pick up on the lyrics really quick 👏 👍 i love the "shy but rude " and ......pause bits, so imaginative. Wax strip groove too 😂😂 love him. The Message in a bottle riff blends perfectly 👌 ❤x

[@ReactADHD]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the reaction and the little pauses-it's all about capturing those moments!

[@yasha.hartberg]

I love when reactors catch the switch to the Message in a Bottle riff in the second verse. Not many do, which is a shame because it creates such a beautiful symmetry in the composition. Plus, who else but Ren would even think those two would work together? I can't remember if you've reacted to Ren's Fred Again Mashup or not. If you haven't, you should because it is a marvelous showcase of his ability to transcend and morph genres, not to mention the guitar playing is magnificent.

[@momstin58]

Smokey Robinson vibes! Another great reaction 💜💜

[@ReactADHD]

Yes! Thank you!

[@audivawalsh2983]

The bass player is his friend Kai, who also shaved his head to be the actor playing Kujo in "Kujo Beat Down". An interesting cross fact is when Chinchilla was signed with Sony, she has opened for Sting.

[@neilfromstan]

These four should do an album of Motown classics reworked, I'm sure it would be absolute fire.

[@ReactADHD]

couldnt agree more!

[@isabell.369]

Nice! Awesome reaction as always 🤩 So agree, Ren is a musical chameleon. Same with Ronnie FIR. Looking forward to next reaction. 💫

[@ReactADHD]

Thank you!! 😁

[@cathywethington5913]

One of the best songs to come to when feeling blue ❤❤❤love your reaction

[@ReactADHD]

Thank you!

[@brendabromley5528]

So Goood🎼🎵🎶🎼🎶 Loved Quadrophenia

[@momishka7]

You should check out the cover of Englishman in New York it’s beautiful Ren is so good you know❤❤❤

[@ReactADHD]

I think I will do that one over on Patreon. The lesser viewed stuff will definitely go there.

[@johnarmstrong759]

Another great reaction - glad you're feeling better fella 😉👌

[@ReactADHD]

Thank you 😁

[@lorihutcheon5363]

This one is such a vibe😍 Great reaction‼️

[@ReactADHD]

Thank you 🙌

[@DusCostea-kt1dg]

REN always pure 🔥🔥 but PLEASE try Till The Wheel's Live version recorded in a Club Bar setting by Scarlett Fae (the lady with the Afro) 🔥🎵🎶🤌🍯🙏💪🐝🍀🇬🇧

[@gcarap]

Taller beauty Scarlett Fae is a great jazz singer. Check out her live video for the song 'Til The Wheels

[@belindamelville2270]

Ren❤❤❤❤

[@carguy1975]

Another great reaction! My neighbors listen to Ren alot....whether they want to or not! 😅

[@ReactADHD]

Love it!!

[@polyesterspecter]

I can't wait for your reactions to Crutch, Fred Again Mashup, Su!c*de, For Joe, The Hunger, Illest of Our Time... SO many Ren gems!

[@ReactADHD]

They will come

[@polyesterspecter]

@@ReactADHDYAY!!! I've been really enjoying your reactions. :)

[@ReactADHD]

@@polyesterspecter This makes me happy

[@TanyaQueen182]

Great reaction! Hope your neck feels better soon. I have degenerative disc disease and hurt my neck all the damn time. I know how much it sucks lol. xx

[@ReactADHD]

Yeah, not fun but this was much more chill which helped!!

[@deadsiderwashere]

Heh I had a good chuckle watching you wince a little at a certain rhyme in there and then it dawned on me- you've yet to see cheeky playful Ren! All of these are happy song suggestions but brace yourself for some goofy word plays. Check out Uninvited, Love Music Pt 4, and Down on the Beat. You'll be glad you did

[@joyplant6275]

Wonderfull reaction.Im really worried about Ren at this moment I hope he recovers soon we don't want any thing to happen to our boi get well soon brother 😊

[@ReactADHD]

I hope so too

[@CosmicVagabondPixie]

Ha YAY **Luvit** My name for him just keeps getting BIGGER heh twas **GeniusRenTheUnicorn** tis now **GeniusRenTheChameleonUnicorn**

[@tinytim161061]

The taller of the 2 singers - pretty sure her name is Scarlet Fae , has some good stuff on youtube

[@ReactADHD]

they are both amazing!

[@mikesimpson1866]

I believe the description section of the official video has links to all the performers individual pages if you want to take a deeper dive into any of their individual work.

[@ReactADHD]

@mikesimpson1866 might have to do that!

[@robertgrant4987]

I'm 60yrs old from Southend and remember the bank holiday riots here. Mainly it was mods v rockers but sometimes the skinheads would show up and fight everyone! Quadrophenia was and still is an epic film.

[@ReactADHD]

I am from Margate originally, so remember the early 80s when they all still visited, they still come every year but they are all in their 60s now lol

[@nicolefagala3270]

❤

[@HotFlush75]

So bizarre ... so ..after the Secret Garden Party festival earlier this year where Ren headlined myself & a few others headed to Brighton for a couple of nights & our Airbnb was directly opposite the Quadraphenia alley where the movie was filmed .. there is an unofficial 'Ren map' so we of course walked around some of the filming spots for various videos inc The Tales, The Hunger ... would recommend ❤

[@ReactADHD]

Thank you for sharing your experience! It’s always great to hear how others enjoy the music and the locations tied to it. I appreciate your recommendation!

[@HistoryPanoptic]

Finally a song that didn't make you cry lol

[@ReactADHD]

hahaha amen!

[@tomvondeek]

the good thing about each and everyone ren reaction is, that you can add another song to your "i can re listen those songs now" playlist =) what songs you have reacted to, are the ones you listen the most to?

[@agnespaterson6901]

Check out Big Push covering An Englishman in New York. ❤

[@tahinia888]

❤❤❤

[@yvonnesmith1297]

You know it's going to be good when the red suspenders come out ❤

[@Heyboo66]

I hope you don't mind but you said about rens latest post and there's a reactor called wynand fouries and he's had a great idea about us all getting together and making a song for ren. It'd be terrific if we could all get behind this and I'm sorry if it's not YT etiquette, you're a nice guy I'm hoping it's ok💙

[@ReactADHD]

That sounds like a fantastic idea! Collaborating on a song for Ren could really bring the community together. I'm all for it!

[@Heyboo66]

@ReactADHD I knew you'd be up for it. Big hugs

[@aaronsebastian5156]

Great Reaction! If you want to see Ren's range and him just singing off the cuff, check out Ren's Spontaneous Stream Jam. It was uploaded by Hexenkind1. Highly recommend it.

[@ReactADHD]

Cool, thanks!

[@CindyBaucom-sb1hd]

❤ren❤

[@ReactADHD]

yay!

[@sparkers70]

It's funny you mentioned how background singers sometimes get lost -- notice Ren put them up front! Foreground singers 😁

[@ReactADHD]

Good point!

[@juliestaunton3080]

❤🇬🇧

[@sanfordgfogg]

First is "Back in 74" by Jungle kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2TPiWWmlLqsb6s - It has Ren's flavor, but i'd say it's close to the original in the sound of it. Next is a Rap Interlude by Ren Next is "Message in a Bottle" by The Police (Sting - lead singer) kzbin.info/www/bejne/ap6WdICKmtRgpLc - Guitars and Vocals, and Lyrics. Do you think he's better than Sting?

[@ReactADHD]

Cant say he is better than sting, of course not. Very different.

[@braca977]

"...she likes girls, but i turn - Tina" 😏 (Rumor has it that Tina Turner liked girls)!

[@ReactADHD]

very clever!

[@Turntablist_Mk2]

Ren recommended Quadrophenia to Black Pegasus, another reactor lol. Just to show some of the culture and references it in some other videos too.

[@ReactADHD]

hahaha really? Love that movie so much!

Sorry about your neck, not fun at all. I love this song, it is so satisfying to listen to and your reaction as usual, +A

Thank you!

[@tubaviewa2624]

Mmmh... Just curious, but since when Back/ground/ Singers are called 'Back/up/ Singers'...?!? (Strange twist to me.)

[@ReactADHD]

Maybe an English thing, we say back up singers, back up dancers
